are hundreds OF people born soldiers. They

they fight ON the right side. Now when these,
our Christian friends who had natural and

entered the celestial army.
The door Of heaven hardly opens but you
hear military demonstration David cried
out: "The chariots OF God are twenty thous-
and" Elisha saw mountains filled with celes-
